Some movies are so bewildering you need to watch them over and over before they sink in. These flicks have a variety of ways of disturbing your mental equilibrium and playing with your mind: there’s the classic twist ending (The Usual Suspects, Fight Club), where last-act revelations cast the story in a totally different light and force you to watch the movie at least one more time. There are movies that just plain shock you (The Silence of the Lambs, Basic Instinct). Then there are movies with plots so elaborate you need a flowchart to keep track of it all (Memento). Here are ten flicks that truly mess with your mind. Take a look and decide which most screwed around with your head.
